Like 1% woke.
The only potentially woke thing in this movie is mention of colonization and strip-mining Kahndaq. Other than that, the film is well done, some bad CGI moments, and some slight cringe moments, but mostly a great film that focuses on action and ass kicking.

More like Women Forever
This movie is basically nothing but a shill fest for "Strong Women". The men seem to be incompetent, the villain is absolutely uncompromising in his willingness to kill. The CGI is BAD, the plot is convoluted and boring. Plot holes galore. The only good scene was the mid-credit scene. This movie was a poor tribute to the late Chadwick Boseman.

No wokeness, but not good either.
The story doesn't have any identity politics overpowering the themes of the movie. The problem with this movie is the objective standard that makes it the worst conclusion to any franchise. It really damages the Halloween Franchise to the point where fans are better suited to stop with only Halloween 78 and Halloween 2018.

It shows some Wokeness, but isn't woke.
This show focuses on respecting the audience, the movies that came before, and the main objective of being entertaining. Any wokeness in this film is openly mocked and shortly thereafter discarded. A great revival of a franchise with the heart and soul of what came before. Truly a breath of fresh air in this era of corrupted entertainment.

No wokeness, only respect for fans.
There is no wokeness, only respect. This film focuses nothing on any outside agenda, this movie focuses instead on the story and entertaining the audience. A Superb thrill ride with action, emotion, and great direction.

Marketed as woke but surprisingly only about 5% woke.
There is outright misogyny in the writing for some of the other natives. Her line "Because you all think that I can't." In response to her being asked why she wants to hunt, could have been rewritten to get around that. This movie's other elements surprisingly lack woke elements accept for the small misogyny already mentioned.

Wokeness knows no bounds!
Child Trans Allegory with the son of Heimdall.
Constantly making Thor look like a fool in order to make the female characters look better. Jane Foster is somehow just Worthy, no explanation, she just is. This movie also changes Korg's already established parentage. Where he once had a mom, he now has 2 dads. Korg is also made gay to prove they have representation. The only good parts in this were the parts where Christian Bale were involved and murderous.

Multiverse of Wokeness
The movie feels the need to confirm the America Chavez parents as lesbians. Strange has to be pushed aside in his own movie to promote Wanda and America's story. The movie's title sequence should have read Scarlet Witch: Multiverse of Madness. Everything is about Wanda needing to be with her kids. Not only that, she literally admits that she killed Vision and felt nothing, which contradicts Infinity War where she is literally crying as she is killing vision, and killing him being the sole reason she breaks down and becomes the Scarlet Witch to begin with.
Captain Carter from What If and Lashana Lynch Captain Marvel being added to the Illuminati because of whatever reasons, when the Illuminati is usually members of the most INTELLIGENT characters in the universe. This movie seems to wanna push more female representation more than the main character, even with Christine from a different universe, and much of it is unneeded, much of the female stuff seemed to be filler. Then to take all that representation and make it for nothing because the villain (Wanda) sacrifices herself in a redemption arc that feels unearned. Not only that, but having Captain Carter using a line from Steve Rogers that is attributed to him specifically, not his Superhero Alter-ego, "I can do this all day." That line was Steven's, and they give it to Captain Carter because why? It seems to cheapen that line with someone else saying it with no reasoning behind it.
It is also worth noting that the females who stand against Wanda seem to put up the better fight. Where Charles Xavier, Black Bolt, and Reed Richards are killed rather easily with very little effort. Not to mention, why is the SMARTEST MAN on Earth telling an all powerful enemy that one of his team can kill her with a whisper from his mouth, knowing that said enemy could possibly stop him? This shows he is not very smart.
All of this are things cheapen the Super Hero franchise that is the MCU because they cannot raise up female characters without seemingly tearing down the males.

An entertaining yet flawed chapter.
While this movie references the relationship between Dumbledore and Grindelwald, it does not automatically make it woke. All it did was verbally confirm what everyone already knew, and then that was it. Not woke.
THIS NEXT PART CONTAINS SPOILERS!
While this movie is not woke, that does not automatically mean it is good either. This movie continues the violation of the lore with another installment that uses a character that shouldn't even be born yet (Minerva McGonagall) as well as changes JK Rowling's story of the death of Ariana Dumbledore by making Grindelwald a nonparticipant. Also making Ariana an obscurial, is contradicting the lore already established in Fantastic Beasts 1. Where they only live up to the age of 10, it is said to be EXTREMELY rare for them to live past 10 years old. Yet 2 existed within 3 decades time. That kind of diminishes the rarity. The writing therefore damages the story set forth by JK and the other writers. Also the recasting of Grindelwald harms the movie as recasting often does, because a different actor often brings a different performance and this is no exception. Mads Mikkelson is a good actor, but he completely changes the character of Grindelwald to what Johnny Depp brought to the role.

A fun ride although flawed.
There was not a woke element to be seen in Morbius. Its only problems lie in the objective standard of Cinematography, special effects, story continuity, and misleading early trailers.
